Fantasy Tip: McCarthy is worth a look in fantasy leagues which use individual defensive players (IDPs), if you need a replacement for Fokou, or your primary option is on a bye. McCarthy could rack up plenty of tackles against the 49ers trying to corral QB Colin Kaepernick, RB Frank Gore and even TE Vernon Davis across the middle.

Tennessee Titans LB Moise Fokou enters the regular season as the starting middle linebacker, with LB Colin McCarthy serving as a reserve and special teams player. "For now, Moise's played well. He took advantage of the situation he was given, and now we just have to see how we play as a unit."

Tennessee Titans LB Colin McCarthy (ankle, concussion) was limited for much of the recent organized team activities (OTAs), but he is now ready to go for training camp. "He's healthy. He looks good," head coach Mike Munchak said Wednesday, July 24. McCarthy is expected to battle LB Moise Fokou for the bulk of the playing time at middle linebacker. Fokou spent a majority of the OTAs with the first-team defense while McCarthy was out recovering from ankle surgery and a concussion.

Tennessee Titans LB Colin McCarthy is expected to enter training camp as the leading candidate for the starting middle linebacker job. McCarthy will have to compete with LB Moise Fokou for the job during camp.

Tennessee Titans LB Moise Fokou is expected to work at inside and outside linebacker during offseason workouts. "On defense, you are going to see a lot of mixes, and a lot will be dictated by who we are playing against," Munchak said. "Guys will be moving around a little bit as we find the best way to do things."

Tennessee Titans LB Moise Fokou was arrested in Washington and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or a drug. The allegations only concern the use of alcohol, and he pled not guilty. The incident occurred in January, and the case is scheduled to go to trial October 22.
